GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
{Player sent to Lanius by Caesar or Lucius} You are the courier Lord Caesar has spoken of. The slaughter begins, then.
|
1
|
| GREETING
|
Disgust 30
|
{Low, vicious, angry} And who is this before me in the colors of the Legion. An envoy... dressed as an insult to all that carry out Caesar's will.
|
2
|
| GREETING
|
Surprise 10
|
{Suspicious, slow} And who are you to come before me... you bear the insignia of the Bear, yet you do not wear it as a soldier of the West wears it.
|
3
|
| GREETING
|
Surprise 10
|
{Suspicious, slow} An envoy of Vegas, yet you carry yourself for battle. If so, you cannot *truly* be of that city of cowards.
|
4
|
| GREETING
|
Surprise 10
|
{Suspicious, slow} And who are you to come before me... you don't bear the mark of the Bear, yet are ready for battle.
|
5
|
| GREETING
|
Disgust 10
|
{Final Combat} {Beat, then disdain} Your words have done nothing but delay the inevitable. {Beat} Now, see what my hounds and my blade will bring to you.
|
6
|
| GREETING
|
Anger 10
|
{Cold, finality} For the Legion.
|
7
|
| GREETING
|
Anger 30
|
[FAILED] {Angered, cutting the player off} Enough.

|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic000
|
If you think you've got any chance of taking Hoover Dam, you're wrong.
|
Disgust 10
|
{Disdain} Many graves in the East are filled with those who said as much, with braver words, not backed by strength.
|
9
|
| Neutral 50
|
It is Caesar's {emph} will this gate to the West bear the flag of the Legion. {Beat, a little quieter, resolved} Caesar's will shall be done.
|
10
|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic001
|
Maybe you're willing to listen to reason.
|
Disgust 10
|
{Disgust} I see you fight with words, like all beneath the flag of the bear. Let us hope your skill with weapons proves greater.
|
11
|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic002
|
You mean your army is about to attack?
|
Anger 10
|
My army has been ready for some time now. My orders were to await the coming of a messenger.
|
12
|
| Neutral 50
|
You are messenger and message both, it would seem.
|
13
|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic003
|
{Caesar alive}What, Caesar wasn't brave enough to come take the Dam himself?
|
Anger 10
|
Caesar's will is made truth through me. I am a hammer against all that defy his rule.
|
14
|
| Anger 10
|
If you seek to stand against me, you shall fall as the West falls.
|
15
|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic004
|
{Caesar dead}What, Caesar giving you orders beyond the grave?
|
Anger 10
|
Caesar's will is the will of the Legion. And the West... all beneath the flag of the Great Bear exist to test the strength of the Legion.
|
16
|
| Anger 10
|
The West shall fall as the East fell, and all the tribes that stretch to the setting sun shall bear the mark of the Legion.
|
17
|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic005
|
I'm here to kill you. The Legion's advance ends here.
|
Happy 10
|
{Respectful, eager} Enough words, then. Let our strength settle this.
|
18
|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic006
|
Nice mask, can't wait to take it as a trophy.
|
Anger 20
|
We shall see how brave you are when nailed to the walls of Hoover Dam, your body facing West so you may watch your world die. {Slow, angry, evil - the player's comments got under his skin.}
|
19
|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic008
|
<Bluff> Persist and learn what Graham learned at the Dam - and Boulder City.
|
Anger 30
|
[SUCCEEDED] {Insulted} You dare speak that name? Comparing him to any man of Caesar will only earn you a slow death.
|
20
|
| Anger 40
|
{Anger building} You think me some lesser man, some other Legate? I am the first of the Legion, and this gate to the West shall be ours this day.
|
21
|
| <Bluffs> But... history has shown defeat is assured. Uh, yours, that is.
|
Disgust 20
|
[FAILED] {Slight sneer} Those are your final words? They are too weak to even wash the stain of your disgrace this day.
|
22
|
| Disgust 20
|
Yet if those are the words you wish to be remembered for, then I shall... {beat, disgust, as if "honor is undeserving} *honor* them.
|
23
|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic009
|
<Bluff> NCR has studied you as they did Graham, and the trap is ready for you.
|
Surprise 10
|
[SUCCEEDED] {Thinking} Hnh. {Beat} You believe your own words, even if I do not.
|
24
|
| Surprise 10
|
{Slightly suspicious} Perhaps NCR has the strength of a cornered animal... it will not be enough to hold this place.
|
25
|
| Anger 10
|
They know nothing of my tactics - or the strength of my forces. They will learn.
|
26
|
| <Bluff> I think they believe you'll be tricked as easily... maybe easier.
|
Anger 10
|
[FAILED] {Contempt} Then they know nothing of me or the Legion's subjugation of the East.
|
27
|
| Anger 20
|
And to send you to deceive me... it is you that they have tricked, not I.
|
28
|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic012
|
<Bluff> The position of your veterans, using the Dam's intake towers - all as expected.
|
Surprise 10
|
[SUCCEEDED] {Slightly to himself} We did take the towers easier than expected. I cannot believe even the Republic would overlook such an opening in their defenses.
|
29
|
| Neutral 50
|
{Rallying} Yet we are at throat of the Great Bear. Victory is at hand.
|
30
|
| <Bluff> That strength... other Legates didn't see it either, until it was too late.
|
Anger 20
|
[FAILED] I am not another Legate, and I am not such a fool as Graham, to be painted in pitch and set aflame.
|
31
|
| Disgust 10
|
If all NCR believes as you do, then this battle is already won.
|
32
|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic013
|
You're the Legate, I'm guessing?
|
Neutral 50
|
I am the commander of this army. The Son of Mars has granted me the name Lanius. And the time to serve him has come once more.
|
33
|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic014
|
And what do you want me to do?
|
Neutral 50
|
Our forces are better equipped to take objectives than hold them. I do not wish to defend this place if another option exists.
|
34
|
| Neutral 50
|
Our opponents follow a strict chain of command, which is both a strength and weakness. I intend to use you to strike at that weakness.
|
35
|
| Anger 10
|
Find the enemy commander, this General Oliver. Kill him or his resolve. Do this, and his cowards will retreat, leaving the dam to us.
|
36
|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic016
|
What does Lanius mean?
|
Happy 10
|
The word means "butcher" in Latin. I was granted the name after proving myself in several battles.
|
37
|
| Neutral 50
|
Perhaps after today's battle, you too will earn yourself a new name.
|
38
|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic018
|
Are you looking forward to the battle?
|
Neutral 50
|
I live to serve Caesar's will - and the will of the Legion. If my victory serves them both, then I am pleased.
|
39
|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic019
|
What do you think of the NCR?
|
Disgust 10
|
They are passable foes. {Slight disdain} Like their citizens, they prefer their war from a distance, and at that, they excel.
|
40
|
| Neutral 50
|
{Reflective} Their leaders have on occasion shown brilliance, their rangers in particular have adapted well to our strategies.
|
41
|
| Sad 10
|
But their rangers are few, and this General Oliver we face is not their best. I regret not being able to face Hanlon, the one who led them last time.
|
42
|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic020
|
Any idea what our chances are?
|
Disgust 10
|
Their men take comfort in - and rely on - killing at a distance. They will not have the luxury of such comforts this time.
|
43
|
| Anger 20
|
Our warriors will wash over them in a tide of blood, severing arms before they can attack, legs before they can run, and heads before they can pray.
|
44
|
| Anger 10
|
So yes, fortune favors our chances, messenger. Provided *you* move quickly.
|
45
|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic021
|
I'm ready. What is the plan?
|
Neutral 50
|
In the past, the NCR has relied upon attrition, withering our numbers with ranged fire and falling back as necessary.
|
46
|
| Neutral 50
|
Not this time. The dam contains tunnels to its heart, overlooked by the NCR... now occupied by the Legion.
|
47
|
| Neutral 50
|
When the battle begins, the NCR will find our teeth at their throats in a dozen places. There will be no attrition, no falling back, only carnage.
|
48
|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic022
|
What can you tell me about the layout of the dam?
|
Neutral 50
|
It was not intended for war - its top sides are bound to two intake towers by a series of bridges. No doubt snipers nest there.
|
49
|
| Neutral 50
|
On the far side of the dam, a small building provides access to the power plant below. That is where Oliver hides.
|
50
|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic023
|
I have questions.
|
Neutral 50
|
Then ask them. But don't waste my time. The battle draws near.
|
51
|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic025
|
Time to go pay General Oliver a visit.
|
Anger 10
|
Mars's eyes are upon you. Do not fail him - or us.
|
52
|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic028
|
<Bluff> Your success was too easy, though, wasn't it? You think I reached you by chance?
|
Surprise 10
|
[SUCCEEDED] {Suspicious} You play on my instincts. Yet your intention in this... you have nothing to gain by telling me of this... "trap."
|
53
|
| Anger 20
|
{Angry} Unless you seek to goad me into a retreat, leaving the battlefield and leaving my honor here to be trampled underfoot by Republic cowards.
|
54
|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic037
|
Perhaps the treachery of your own ranks disgusts you as it disgusts me.
|
Anger 10
|
Of course. And I guard myself from such acts of cowardice and jealousy.
|
55
|
| Surprise 10
|
You claim that word of my coming has been given to the West so that I might die here... even as I take the Dam?
|
56
|
| Disgust 10
|
Telling me this does not benefit you at all... you gamble with your words, and your coin is lacking.
|
57
|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic040
|
If you return East and exact vengeance, it buys the West time - and thins the Legion ranks.
|
Disgust 10
|
If what you say is true, then they shall answer for it.
|
58
|
| Neutral 50
|
But you suggest I turn from battle to answer these crimes, when I can prove myself greater by meeting them - then returning with the Dam as ours.
|
59
|
| Anger 10
|
You almost convinced me otherwise... but justice comes to all in time, and it now comes to you.
|
60
|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic042
|
When your own must ally with the West in order to remove you? Such treachery must be answered.
|
Neutral 50
|
You speak with conviction, and more importantly, with honor. {Beat} And we secured a foothold on the Dam... easily, as you have said.
|
61
|
| Neutral 50
|
Graham's overconfidence forever branded him with fire, I will not follow his trail of fire into the depths of the Grand Canyon.
|
62
|
| Neutral 50
|
{Resolved} The Republic shall keep their Old World gate this day, I shall return East. When I return, I shall have all the armies of the Legion with me.
|
63
|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic043
|
I have questions first.
|
Anger 10
|
Then ask them. The battle draws near.
|
64
|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic046
|
I will await that day, Legate Lanius.
|
Surprise 10
|
{Final word, slight suspicion} Perhaps it is unfortunate Vulpes was not here to hear your words... something tells me you would prove more than his match.
|
65
|
| I will await that day, Legate Lanius.
|
Surprise 10
|
{Final word, slight suspicion} Perhaps it is fortunate Vulpes went to his death before this day... something tells me your words would have surpassed even his skills.
|
66
|
| I will await that day, Legate Lanius.
|
Happy 10
|
Until the day when our armies meet again, NCR - I shall wait for you on the battlefield.
|
67
|
| I will await that day, Legate Lanius.
|
Happy 10
|
Until the day when our armies meet again, envoy of Vegas - I shall wait for you on the battlefield.
|
68
|
| I will await that day, Legate Lanius.
|
Happy 10
|
Until the day when our armies meet again, courier - I shall wait for you on the battlefield.

|
[Karma] Any man can claim bravery when he outnumbers his opponent.
|
Happy 10
|
[SUCCEEDED] {Frowns} Hnh. I have seen little of true battle this day. And you were brave to come here to face me when all of NCR would not.
|
70
|
| Happy 20
|
{Nods, respectful} I shall honor your last words and face you alone. No man will say I refused your challenge.
|
71
|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic050
|
<Bluff> If you're such a "Terror" of the East, call off your dogs and face me one on one.
|
Anger 30
|
[SUCCEEDED] {Takes a ragged, angry breath} The West's treatment of bitches such as you is their weakness. {Beat, second thought} But... by my honor, I shall face you alone, as you request. {Had to dupe these lines because of the different skill/Karma checks being done tied to the conditional.}
|
72
|
| Anger 20
|
{Snarling} Woman of the West... you will learn your place - in my tent, and again, when you beg for release on the edge of my blade. {Had to dupe these lines because of the different skill/Karma checks being done tied to the conditional.}
|
73
|
| <Bluff> If you're such a "Terror" of the East, call off your dogs and face me one on one.
|
Anger 30
|
[SUCCEEDED] {Takes a ragged, angry breath} I shall make a cape of your skin. And your skull - it shall sit by my side, mute, watching as my armies march West. {Had to dupe these lines because of the different skill/Karma checks being done tied to the conditional.}
|
74
|
| Anger 20
|
{Snarling} I shall honor your last words... and face you alone, as you request. No man will say I refused your challenge. {Had to dupe these lines because of the different skill/Karma checks being done tied to the conditional.}
|
75
|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic051

[Karma] Why don't you fight me yourself if you've got the spine for it, shithead.
|
Anger 30
|
[SUCCEEDED] {Takes a ragged, angry breath} The West's treatment of bitches such as you is their weakness. {Beat, second thought} But... by my honor, I shall face you alone, as you request. {Had to dupe these lines because of the different skill/Karma checks being done tied to the conditional.}
|
76

79
|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic052
|
Maybe you'd want something more fair? Like a fair fight?
|
Anger 10
|
[FAILED] No, I shall make it a contest - whether I can kill you *before* my hounds tear you apart.
|
80
|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic059
|
You could take the West. *Holding* it is another matter.
|
Disgust 20
|
[SUCCEEDED] {Contempt} I have no *need* to hold it - anything the West sends against me shall break against the wall that is the Legion.
|
81
|
| Look... there must be some deal we can make to stop this fighting - it's useless.
|
Disgust 20
|
[FAILED] {Disgust} You seek to buy my conviction, like some merchant from the West.
|
82
|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic060
|
And they don't *need* to send an army, your supply lines will kill you first.
|
Anger 20
|
[SUCCEEDED] {Derisive} You think we would march without a means of resupply? We have the Fort, we will have the Dam - other communities will fall.
|
83
|
| Anger 10
|
And we shall harvest as we move West. {With conviction} We only need move forward.
|
84
|
| So you, uh, think military strength is enough, even without supplies?
|
Disgust 20
|
[FAILED] Your reliance on comfort... it rots you from the inside. You are in need of the teachings the Legion will bring to your people.
|
85
|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic063
|
There's no communities to support you in the West - you've seen to that.
|
Anger 20
|
[SUCCEEDED] {Growing anger} There are many towns, many slaves... ripe for the taking as the tribes from the East were.
|
86
|
| The farther West, your strength will fail you, I promise you.
|
Disgust 20
|
[FAILED] {Growing anger, disgust} I shall carve your {emph} promises into your skin so that you might think on them - and let that be the lesson this day.
|
87
|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic064
|
The settlements West are *not* self-sufficient tribes - they need NCR, and the caravans.
|
Anger 10
|
[SUCCEEDED] {Confused} You rely too much on the trappings of... civilization. The people of the West were once tribes - they will relearn their ways, or...
|
88
|
| Look, you haven't thought the economics of this through, all right?
|
Anger 30
|
[FAILED] {Angered, cutting the player off} Enough.
|
89
|
VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic065
But the Legion... it's destroyed a bunch of... well, towns you need.
|
Towns? The Legion destroyed Nipton, poisoned Searchlight, butchered Nelson.
|
Sad 10
|
[SUCCEEDED] {Pauses} Vulpes... brought the touch of Caesar to such places.
|
90
|
| Sad 10
|
{Beat} It was necessary to weaken the West, show that the Legion could strike deep into the places where NCR thought it safe.
|
91
|
| Anger 10
|
{Rallying} But we do not need *those* towns. Like Hoover Dam, there is the power within Vegas... we can harness it for our needs.
|
92
|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic071
|
As Legate, do you really believe that, or are you taking a chance?
|
Sad 10
|
Hnh. {Beat} Long ago... when taking Denver, I had to face such a challenge. Many died, over many years to claim the city as ours.
|
93
|
| Sad 10
|
{Reflective} It was the lines of food and water that nearly broke the Legion's strength... and the lack of tribals near that cursed city.
|
94
|
| Sad 10
|
What I felt in that struggle, I felt as I saw the map of the West. The West is a trap. The bear has already been caught in it, and it is dying.
|
95
|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic073
|
Where you see death, I see change - and I see it as a strength.
|
Neutral 50
|
[SUCCEEDED] Hnh. My coming would have saved you, set your people free in ways they cannot see.
|
96
|
| Neutral 50
|
War would have tested them. Broken the weak with its violence, yet allowing the strong to arise.
|
97
|
| Neutral 50
|
Violence gave you that strength, awakened you - I can see it upon your face, where two bullets left their mark.
|
98
|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic074
|
I have faith. Trade helped us survive the Great War, it will do so again.
|
Happy 10
|
[SUCCEEDED] Hnh. Then when I return, woman of the West... we shall see if your belief will withstand the blades of the Legion.
|
99
|
| I have faith. Trade helped us survive the Great War, it will do so again.
|
Happy 10
|
[SUCCEEDED] Hnh. Then when I return, man of the West... we shall see if your belief will withstand the blades of the Legion.
|
100
|
| I have faith. Trade helped us survive the Great War, it will do so again.
|
Happy 10
|
But I shall give you the time you need to prepare.
|
101
|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic075
|
So... you'll retreat?
|
Surprise 10
|
Retreat? {Beat, as if the word is new to him.} Retreat.
|
102
|
| Anger 30
|
{Growing anger} I was a fool to listen to you... you know nothing of who I am.
|
103
|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic078
|
This battle is decided, that's why I am here.
|
Disgust 10
|
[SUCCEEDED] {Mocking} So you seek quarter? Terms of surrender?
|
104
|
| Disgust 10
|
Our roads into NCR are hung with the bodies of those who attempted to {disgust} negotiate with us.
|
105
|
| Anger 20
|
Save your speeches, we will take Hoover Dam and move forward until our feet crush the setting sun beneath them.
|
106
|
| I suspect the bear will surprise you in ways... in ways I can't even describe.
|
Anger 10
|
[FAILED] It is the Legion that will surprise the West, but you will not be alive to see it.
|
107
|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic079
|
Move forward? The Legion spent years trying to take Hoover Dam.
|
Disgust 10
|
[SUCCEEDED] Hoover Dam has never seen the massed strength of the East. Only Legates such as Graham... who deserved the fire Caesar blessed him with.
|
108
|
| Anger 10
|
Now I am here, and make markers of your people as the Legion carves its way West.
|
109
|
| Surely there are terms you would hear? Anything?
|
Anger 30
|
[FAILED] {Angered, cutting the player off} Enough.
|
110
|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic081
|
And then what of the East?
|
Anger 20
|
[SUCCEEDED] {Angered, confused} You speak in circles - what of the East? {beat} I am the East, and I will prove it this day.
|
111
|
| Look, my point about Hoover Dam is that it's hard to take, so...
|
Anger 30
|
[FAILED] {Angered, cutting the player off} Enough.
|
112
|
| VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic083
|
If you need all the East to crush the West...
|
Neutral 50
|
[SUCCEEDED] The victory here shall be swift. Our forces shall take the Dam, secure it, then build a road west on the bodies of the NCR.
|
113
|
| Neutral 50
|
The East will hold. Once across the Colorado, nothing to rival Hoover Dam remains.
|
114
|
| Look, you're not listening to me - it's not about the Dam, really.
|

It is not the strength of the West that will slow you, it is their weakness.

Surprise 20
|
[SUCCEEDED] {Curious} Your weakness? You seek to thwart me by claiming the Legion is too strong for you?
|
117
|
| That's an optimistic attitude for a general, and that's how wars get lost.

Disgust 10

[FAILED] And how {emp} battles are lost... when you bring nothing but words to a contest of strength.

Good, because the Omertas' plan was stopped, Vegas is as strong as ever.

{Angered} A plan by Vulpes... treachery is a weapon that one should never rely on.

I can only hope that the Omertas died when their treachery was exposed, to have the plan succeed only would have sullied the Legion.

NCR's weakness is its size - it'll take your entire army to hold the West.

[SUCCEEDED] {Frown} That does not mean we would not succeed.

Eventually - but moving your whole army West means losing the East. You can't hold both.
|
Disgust 10
|
[SUCCEEDED] The East was a hard-fought campaign. Even now, Caesar drew too much of the Legion's blood needed there for... this.

Hoover Dam is but a place. I will not have it be the gravestone of the Legion - whether quickly, or as you describe, slowly... by attrition.

Know that I shall return East. I shall not remain there forever. On that day, the strength of the bear shall be tested.

If the West is one day filled with ones such as you, perhaps it shall be a worthy fight, indeed.

The rest of the dam is fully under our control. A few pitiful holdouts remain, but their time is short. The general was the last source of concern.

With their commander dead, the NCR will pull out of this region, allowing our conquest to continue westward unopposed for a time.
